Frank Rajkowski's update is out and SJU is going full-on development.  Krebsbach is starting at QB.  Now there is a surprise.

And, Bench, that FoxNews ad hominem of your was very MSNBC.   

Developing....

[Johnnie Red]

Bethel fans, you are welcome to join us for the Stiftungsfestivities tailgate party before the game tomorrow in Collegeville. We are located above the scoreboard end of the field in the parking lot. The party gets going around 10:00 a.m.. Bring a culinary delight to share if you like.

Developing, or unraveling?

That depends how you view it. Some people say that when given lemons to make lemonade,others say to pass the tequila.....

Bethel fans,

If you don't take up the Godfather on this invitation, you are cheating yourself.  Great people, and the burgers are the heat.  You'll be glad you went!

So was this your behind the scenes reference, Dusty?  An argument over whether to start prepping for next season or to try and salvage what was possible from this one?  If it was, then I guess that's a reasonable argument, but I was expecting something more dramatic like a decision within the Abbey to re-emphasize the spiritual mission at SJU off the back of the new Bible (or something dramatic like that).  Something like a push to emphasize that SJU is a Catholic school first and a football school second.

(I'm not making any statement about what kind of school it is or isn't, I'm just explaining the level of drama I expected in the behind the scenes action Dusty alluded to.  Starting a sophomore QB, while a big deal, is not a tsunami.)

[Touchdown Tommy]

Oz:  Today's news is NOT what DustySJU is referring to.  BTW can TDT say with you next month during the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne?

See you tomorrow Clark!  Don't duck me!

Good luck tomorrow to JohnnieIrish's nephew.  Impressed by the arm strength of Krebsbach & Bruns.

Now I'm starting to feel like College Football handicapper Danny Sheridan and his statements indicating he has proof positive that Cecil Newton did indeed take payment from Auburn University for his son Cam Newton.  Danny Sheridan declared he would reveal who the alleged "bag man" was for Auburn University delivering payment but in the end never announced his source or the perpetrator.

Although I've never announced I would name specifics or reveal hard evidence pointing to factors leading to the Johnnie Football demise, I'm simply here with everyone else with a best guess, I have heard from enough people indicating all is not well in Denmark... or Collegeville for that matter.  Frankly we can see the results on the field. 

Would you say there's poison oozing out in the 56321 or have we just hit a talent dip in central Minnesota?

If this was a down season we'd be losing 35 - 14, not 63 - 7.  Something else is going on and quite honestly it's all been discussed here on the board.  I'll take a wild guess based on folks I've communicated with and say the coaching staff isn't all on the same page. 

It's a guess.

Sorry to leave too much dangling out there....


33 years of watching Johnnie Football games, a diploma to boot, continuing financial contributions, time committed to the Alumni Board, recruitment of numerous students including players, 10 season tickets and constant promotion of SJU...

I feel comfortable throwing a few things out there for amusement and consideration...

Could have all sorts of fun historical or cultural fun with this.

Mrs Oz said, "But he's a stranger."  Don't worry, TDT, I backed you up and said, "He may be strange, but he's no stranger."

You'll probably end up kicking one of the girl's out of her bedroom and then have to sleep under pink bed covers, but I reckon you're probably OK with that.

I just wish I could attend the game!  The stift-festivies would be a great bonus to the game though.

Whimsical, fascinating and thought provoking.... however are their names listed in the important book, "The Book of Life"?

[AlmostEx]

Per Esquire:  [[However, that is also a cop-out: there are 200 guys on the sideline, and if you are telling me that your starters are the only ones who have a chance at executing correctly, then that is a coaching problem (either through recruiting or through practices). So, while the execution excuse may carry a little justification, you have the numbers to remove said offender.]]

This is intellectual dishonesty at its best, on behalf of the SJU coaching staff, and from an outsiders perspective they have been given a free pass on this front; that is until Esquire called it out!

Per DustySJU:  [[Would you say there's poison oozing out in the 56321 or have we just hit a talent dip in central Minnesota?]]

Neither, I would say the dysfunction among certain members of this staff has completely metastasized, while "market dynamics" have negated SJU's long standing competitive advantage.

For all JG's greatness, I question his role in allowing this situation (dysfunction) to exist.  Would he really stand for such non-sense at age 40, 50, 60, or even 70?

As my children would say to me when they were younger, "duh, thanks Captain Obvious!"

Sfury.  Read your article and I completely reject your continued assertion the SJU has been here before and overcame the slump of 19xx or 20xx.  While that is poetic, there is nothing in common today with 19xx or 20xx.

I have asked previously, can anyone call out the fact the Emperor is naked, without becoming persona on grata?  The answer appears to be in flux!

Good luck SJU, there could be no better way of removing that bitter taste in your mouth than pounding the xxxx of Bethel!  I hope that is what I find when I log onto the D3 scoreboard some time tomorrow afternoon.
